I'm heading back over to the UK for my next solo show entitled "All I Heard Was The Echo In The Light" which opens on June 4th at Analogue Books in Edinburgh, Scotland. There is a bunch of stuff in the works for this one... all new collages, prints, wooden people & lots & lots of flags. Analogue is also producing a 2 color T shirt, seen below, and there will also be a a new limited zine/catalog with screen printed pages and other goodies.

Here's a little bit about the show:

All I Heard Was The Echo In The Light is sunshine, desert & succulents. It’s going outside at night, watching the dying suns and witnessing the new ones being born. Everything to and from dust. Geodesic domes, the 1960’s, the sky & being alone. It’s about all the people I have never met. It’s about all of us living and about all of us dying. It’s about all the love I have for everything. There may be a crystal or two involved, sorry, I tried to keep it scientific. It’s sewn. It’s printed. It’s painted. It’s 100% handmade. Everything is infinite. It will last forever & it will also end on July 10, 2010.

I'm also going on a super abridged tour of Scandinavia with stops in Gothenburg & Oslo.. so come out and say "hello!"

Super hyped to have a bunch of new T's coming out with 2K. There are no words to describe how awesome this is.. I mean, I've got shirts at the same place as Milton Glaser! Not to mention the tons of other amazing people.. Anyway, for those of you that have been wanting my heart graphic, aka the We Are Not Two We Are One in another format asides from a print.. your wish has come true. I got my sample this week and I love it. It's my favorite T shirt I've ever made. Anyway, keep a look out.. they'll be available worldwide soon...

So, it's not exactly an entire new watch, but I did design new straps for my holiday watch to make it a summer watch... you get 2 sets of straps, the original holiday themed one and the new summer explosion ones. It's like a transformer. It's hella rad. & for you non Californians that means "it's awesome." Click the images to get better detail views...You can pick one up here.

I've got a brand new desktop wallpaper available over at the amazing Kitsune Noir blog.. and it's for pretty much any size screen from your ginormous monitor to your PSP & it's totally free! It's half computer drawing & real life paper and pen drawing with some old book pages I cut up and scanned in. I can never seem to make anything solely on the computer.. Super big thanks to Kitsune Noir, where you can literally get lost for hours looking at pretty things.
